Venti (Genshin Impact)
Austin King noted Venti's dual significance as both the game's first five-star character and his pivotal role in Mondstadt's main storyline, cementing his status among Genshin Impact most beloved characters. Game Rant contributor Jeffrey Yu emphasized Venti's enduring viability despite being the first limited 5-star character, praising his crowd control and exploration utility. Merchandise of the character has also been released, including a nendoroid released by Good Smile Company, with pre-orders opening March 4, 2022 and official release on April 20, 2022.
The character is presented as male within the game Genshin Impact. However, among Western audiences, his appearance has prompted discussions regarding his gender. Venti has been widely discussed by players and media for his androgynous design, which some interpret as a deliberate subversion of gender expectations. His appearance and personality align with a recognizable archetype in anime and games influenced by Japanese media: the androgynous, youthful, often extroverted male character who may also serve as comic relief.<ref name=":3" />
